It is impossible registrant A owns i.e Cougar .com in Chinese,Russian or Farsi and a different registrant B owns the idn.idn equivalents to these only because it will cause user confusion and that is definitely not an option.

To me, the only missing variants at the moment are the date the idn gTLD's are getting aliased and rather it will be free , fractional cost or cost like a new registration for the idn.idn versions.

At least, Kathimerini took the time to write more comprehensive and correct stuff than all the other Greek news sources I've read so far, who seem to simply regurgitate the same stuff from the same original source.

Also, that same article mentions that China and Thailand have implemented the system already.

I wasn't aware that Thailand was using dot Thai in the same respect as China.

Can anyone confirm this.

No, Thailand doesn't have its "own" IDN system at the moment. There was a feeble attempt a few years ago but it fizzled out. You'd need strong government to implement that kind of project successfully ;-)
